Kharg Island, a small Persian Gulf island near Bushehr, is central to Iran’s oil exports, handling about 90% of crude shipments and serving as a key economic lifeline for the government and military. Its deep waters allow supertankers to dock, making it strategically important. While rarely attacked in the past, the island’s military facilities were recently targeted by the US, though oil infrastructure was spared. Analysts warn that strikes or potential seizure could disrupt Iran’s economy, crude exports, and global energy markets, while escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
